Pendora lists its price as Free, but the public publisher sources reviewed do not specify a single-file upload ceiling, total storage allowance or monthly bandwidth. Unlimited downloads does not establish unlimited storage or transfer. No future pricing commitment was found: confirm capacity, pricing terms and export options before migrating.
The question is what you can upload, deliver and keep running as your store grows.
Pendora advertises unlimited downloads. Its public listing and the publisher sources we reviewed do not specify a numeric per-file upload limit, total storage or monthly bandwidth allowance.
That is a gap to resolve before migration. It does not prove that capacity is small or unlimited. Ask the team to confirm all three numbers for your actual catalogue.
Read Pendora’s current listing →No reviewed source promises that Pendora will remain free forever. We also found no announcement that it will become paid. Treat future pricing as an open question and check the terms before building a dependency.
Pumper currently lists a free tier with a revenue threshold and paid monthly tiers at $9.99, $29.99 and $49.99. In an otherwise positive Shopify review dated 24 October 2024, merchant STIM - Energy On Demand wrote: It became paid recently
. That is a dated merchant account, not an official announcement or a prediction about Pendora.
Pumper’s privacy policy names Proveway Pvt Ltd and “Henq eCommerce LLC”. Pendora’s Shopify listing names “Henqq ecommerce LLC” and links to a Proveway privacy policy. Those public disclosures show a connection; the differing names do not establish identical legal ownership.

These are unchanged publisher-provided marketing images, not independent in-app tests. They show the advertised interfaces; they do not establish copying or who originated a design. Compare the working delivery journey, capacity and support—not visual familiarity alone.
Export your products, orders and keys where supported. Match each file to the correct product and variant. Keep an independent backup.
Check email delivery, mobile download, PDF stamping and a previous customer’s access. Try the exact custom or scheduled workflow you intend to use.
Disable duplicate delivery messages once tests pass. Monitor support requests and bandwidth during the first campaign. Keep the source app until access is verified.

A check means the source documents the capability; a dash means it is not stated, not that it is impossible.
